Chapter 587 You take your promises too seriously

Chapter 587 You are too conscientious in keeping your promise

  After Locke and the Celtic team leader parted, they returned to their dormitory with the information.

  He looked at his information again, first of all, the three generations of the Senate, Academic Committee and Deacons. This time at least three people will be recommended to participate in the competition.

  Everyone is a descendant of a three-ring wizard and enjoys countless resources.

  Have numerous equipments on her body.

 The only advantage I have over them is my "talent".

  "The three major factions in Golden Mian Mountain all want to take the place to participate in the Silent Holy Grail's Plane Conquest Tournament in their own hands. For the three major factions, a mere plane coordinate should be nothing."

Locke thought: "There may be other interests internally, which I can't know now."

 "Secondly, there are those real researchers with no background in Zhenzhiyuan." Locke looked at the two biggest opponents that Team Leader Celtic considered.

 The first opponent is Emerson Nelson, a wizard from the Power School. He is forty-five this year. He was admitted to Golden Mian Mountain when he was forty years old and stuck at the last age line.

   He has been in Jinmian Mountain for five years.

   He has completed first-class project funding, but has not done any special funding or key individual sub-projects.

 Logically, he should leave Jinmian Mountain at the end of this year.

 Obviously, Emerson Nelson of the Power School wants to have another try before leaving Golden Crown Mountain this year.

 If he can succeed, then he can participate in the plane conquest competition. Even if he fails, he can still benefit a lot.

 At least his time in Zhenzhiyuan has reached its limit, and he can't do it without leaving.

 As for Emerson Nelson, his magic pressure has reached 9999. At the same time, he is a local wizard in Yunze Wetland and a local wizard in Jinmian Mountain. His teachers at all stages are outstanding wizards.

 His basic panel and spell pool are not comparable to ordinary wizards in the outside world. I heard that his permanent defensive force field is very unique.

"Gravity Well?" Locke read the permanent defensive force field of this school of energy. The opponent's permanent defensive force field combined with the special wizard tower's elemental fission pool equipment can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

   is the proud research result of a sun-ring wizard he followed during his apprenticeship.

 Although you cannot use multiple permanent defense fields, you can maximize the advantages of the original permanent defense field.

 At the same time, Locke looked at his second strong opponent in the data-Sela Witch.

  "Born from the southern witch city, he is a bloodline wizard and a researcher at the Advanced Institute of True Knowledge. He is a bloodline modulator and is good at using magic spells to strengthen and improve Phoenix bloodline."

Locke frowned. "It is said that she was born with the second-level Yanque bloodline. This is her fourth year of enrollment. She wants to become a second-level wizard and receive special funding. She has been at the first-level limit for at least three years. She is forty years old this year."

  "The permanent defensive force field is the realm of the bird that is entangled with the Phoenix bloodline."

  "She once joined a demon hunting team and has personally hunted double-digit first-level dark wizards. This guy is a master of actual combat."

  The team of demon hunters in the Land of Misawa is something that can add political correctness to one's resume, and can also slightly modify one's resume.

  Actually, it’s quite useful.

Locke thought: "Just looking at the paper data of these two people, it is actually not as high as the paper data of the three generations of the Senate, Academic Committee and Deacon Group. But in fact, these two are also my strong opponents, because they are real geniuses."

 "There should be trump cards in hand. And... like me, they can continue to improve in the battle."

"In addition, the other contestants have been stuck at the limit for many years and have not been able to make any progress. I just don't know what kind of contestants the small and medium-sized wizard organizations in the Golden Mian Mountain area will send to compete this time."

  "Facing so many powerful enemies, I need stronger power. Fortunately, I have money now."

  After Locke thought for a moment, he took out two luxury magic plants and continued to learn the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow magic.

 After practicing for an hour, he began to think about how to complete the fourth round of the ladder test in the Quetzalcoatl Ancient Pavilion. At the same time, he poured the waste residue produced by configuring the potion on the Obelisk Stone Demon.

  A stone as big as a basketball rolled on the tool table, like a kitten turning over.

 …

  On the seventh floor of Zhenzhiyuan Castle, Witch Ekaterina heard the results from the Celtic team leader and the second team leader Sis George respectively.

 She raised the corners of her lips and looked at the golden dragon Fafnir beside her. "How about it? It seems like our little dragon has adapted to the Yunze Wetland."

 "Things are a bit beyond your expectation."

 The golden dragon Fafnir sneezed. "I do underestimate him. Even super-intuition cannot explain his current achievements. It should be that he has a high talent for breeding, and super-intuition is even more powerful."

"But I have always mistrusted wizards from the outside. Forget it, he is indeed very good. Maybe you were right to choose him instead of the wizard who was born in this school."

Jin Long said: "He has done well recently."

Witch Ekaterina said: "Don't underestimate wizards from remote places. Maybe they have not received the best magic training, but their ability to get here proves their potential."

"Fafnir, I am not a native wizard in Yunze Wetland."

The golden dragon looked at Yekaterina in surprise. "This is the first time I have heard of this. You have completely hidden your past except for academics, and outsiders cannot know it at all."

  "So you are not a native wizard."

 Ekaterina smiled: "Wisdom is power, and power is wisdom. Let others know my past, and they can speculate on my thoughts, so my wisdom will lose to him, so his power will be greater than mine."

"On the contrary, the more information I know about him, the more power I have over him."

The golden dragon Fafnir took a deep look at Ekaterina. "It's hard to believe that this sentence was said by the witch who studied the flowers of seven colors on a branch because of her love for beauty during the First Ring period."

  Witch Ekaterina raised the corners of her lips. "Then the question is, who did you listen to in this story? Thomasson? Or other wizards? Who did those wizards listen to? Yes, listen to me."

   "So... is the story I told them true or false?"

The golden dragon Fafnir turned to look at the witch Ekaterina. He suddenly got up from the ground, like a golden mountain rising from the ground. During the change of spiritual excitement, the terrifying dragon eyes stared at Ekaterina. "Indeed, the gap between that story and your own temperament is really big. You have never been an idealist, let alone someone who likes superficial things. I have been with you for so long, and if there is any illusory concept that can attract your attention, it must be because that concept can bring you more long-term benefits."

  "Ekaterina, speaking of which, he has passed the second-class Zhenzhiyuan Fund. When will you start his test? It should be almost there."

  Golden Dragon Fafner said: "He has lived a stable life for too long. According to your pace, now it is time for him to feel the real cold."

  "The cold that Griffin and Hoover once felt. Successes that have not experienced failure are not worth mentioning."

 Hitch Ekaterina waved her hand, and the magic mirror in front of her eyes was automatically covered by a piece of black cloth woven with a red dragon pattern. "It's not urgent."

  "You seem to have a high opinion of him."

  The golden dragon Fafnir sneezed and said: "I recognized his talent from the beginning, but I didn't expect that. His talent can be so strong. I just think he is troublesome and not very cost-effective. But now it seems that I was wrong."

 "I just hope he can withstand your real test."

"By the way, that Daniel seems to be going through the test too. I have to say, you wizards in Golden Mian Mountain are really weird. This welcoming tradition is really too bad." Jin Long said: "It's not that there are no wizards, and they have never gotten up again."

Witch Ekaterina smiled and said: "I think so too. It's true. It’s too bad.”

 “But we have different expectations for the researchers of the Advanced Zhenzhi Institute.”

…

 A month later, in the laboratory, Locke sorted out the eight articles that had previously passed the second-class funding project and sent them to Qingcao Yunze in turn.

At the same time, in the simple laboratory, Locke entered a state of "flow". Without any thoughts, the spirituality in his body seemed to drift with the current. He stretched out his left hand, and the branch of the Golden Que that was suspended in front of him began to bend, and its shape deformed, automatically turning into a bow and arrow. The tree body was the bow body, and the phoenix spirit of the Golden Que's branch became the bow string.

 At the same time, Locke raised his right hand and recited a spell, and a fast-growing branch hanging from the Little Diamond Jujube fell into his hand.

  The ordinary little diamond jujube hanging from the branch quickly burned into some kind of flame.

 That is the fire of civilization.

  Immediately afterwards, under the blazing flames, the jujube branch turned into an arrow. Locke placed the magic arrow on the bow of the Golden Que Remaining Branch.

Suddenly, the two forces combined, and a terrifying magical pressure combined with the fire of civilization descended. Locke did not wait, but the wall a few feet in front of him had begun to melt, and the place where his feet stood was burning with flames.

 The magic pressure turned into flames, and the entire simple laboratory was like a high-temperature oven.

  And this arrow, Locke didn't even fire it.

      Locke chanted a spell and dispelled the magic, "Using the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow, I can continuously fire the fast-growing branches of the small diamond jujube hanging combined with the power of the fire of civilization."

    "My normal loss. The ability to produce magic will be directly improved by one to two levels. "

  "Whoever is my enemy now, I only need to set up my bow and arrow, and I can shoot continuously. It is said that the Peach Arc Thorn Arrow can shoot down anything, even the sun and moonlight."

The two luxury magic plants that are included in Peach Arc Thorn Arrow have second-ring characteristics. The magic itself can also be connected to the spiritual fire of civilization, which once again enhances this magic and gives this magic the special ability to shoot down nothing.

 With this magic, Locke has the confidence to compete with the generation of young wizards in the Golden Crown Mountain area.

 Locke used the astral ring to collect two luxury magic plants.

 At the same time, he thought: “I don’t know what happened to the eight articles I submitted to Qingcao Yunze and the 28 articles submitted to Life and Reproduction.”

 Him Before, he was prepared to give priority to “Environment and Plants” in the second district. After all, it was the top journal in the second district.

Who knew that my two articles on the working mechanism of the symbiotic relationship between bromeliad magic plants and magical creatures were severely rejected by "Environment and Plants".

  Probably because I am the corresponding author and am not convincing.

 Hence, Locke directly asked Schneider to write 26 articles in the past month, and then submitted them to "Life and Reproduction" this month.

 Wizard Hayes should be very happy.

 …

 In the editor-in-chief's office of Qingcao Yunze, a Moon Ring Wizard, who is the editor-in-chief of the journal, is currently looking at the eight articles sent by the editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief said: "Editor-in-Chief, these eight articles are all of high quality. Six of them are related to the structural components of natural magic. One is an overall review of the ecological niche of bromeliad magic plants, and the other is...an article about No. 2 Overlord Element and Overlord-like cultivation technology."

 "Eight articles, each has been recognized by peers... But the problem is that this number is too much. Do we want to publish eight articles by a wizard in one issue?"

  "Chief Editor, please make an idea."

 The editor-in-chief of Qingcao Yunze tapped the table with his fingers. After careful consideration, he said: "Come on! These eight articles are all common articles in our Qingcao Yunze journal. The wizard just... discovered a lot of natural magic structural components at one time."

   "But this does not affect the quality of these articles. In this case, what reason do we have to refuse!"

   "Go and write a letter of thanks to the wizard. If possible, I hope he can submit more articles to our journals in the future."
 …

 In the office of the journal "Life and Reproduction", Wizard Hayes saw the 28 articles sent by his assistant. He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the wizard's junior assistant who was in the liquefaction stage in front of him. "Junior brother, these are all... submitted by the wizard Locke Augustine?"

The wizard nodded and said: "Senior brother, these articles have all been approved by my peers. In fact, there is no doubt that they are all excellent research. If it is not a problem with the corresponding author, you can even get the top issue of the second district."

"Our journal happens to have relatively few articles, so we can put together a monthly issue with a relatively high quality. Teacher Barbatos will definitely be very happy."

"Brother, where did you find such a great person who can publish articles?"

Wizard Hayes was stunned for a moment, and then he was slightly speechless. "Little Locke, I just asked you to give priority to our journal. Who knew you actually submitted 28 high-quality articles to us at one time."

 Hence "You keep your promise too much."

 Hence "What a treasure..." Wizard Hayes smiled. "I happened to pass by Jinmian Mountain that day, so I went to Jinmian Mountain to visit a young talent that I had been optimistic about before. This must be my eyesight."

Wizard Hayes saw his junior brother with satisfaction and looked at him with admiration.
